The Cretaceous Period

The age of dinosaurs actually ruled for quite a long time during the great wave of the Seconderous period, which Joseph named the Cretaceous period.

Joseph spent a long time in this period of history, but he had trouble remembering how long.

Wisdom, as an extremely good program, began to express itself very early on.

Life knew how to start building nests to keep out the cold, began to know how to hunt by more effective means, began to know how to beg for mercy, or to escape, or to hunt in teams.

Unfortunately, dinosaurs are limited by size. It seems that intelligence is limited to this, as if the development to the extreme, they have enough power, they begin to be satisfied with their status quo, and the program begins to gradually sleep.

This is quite a reasonable thing to do.

If there is no meteorite impact, the earth's outside world may still be ruled by dinosaurs, who do not require the program to express intelligence.

....

It was one day in the Cretaceous period.

Joseph rode Velociraptor I and wandered through the primeval forest.

He finds an orange plant with light-red fruit in the jungle.

Although the name was unknown, it was indeed quite a sweet fruit with a taste similar to that of the later pear.

Joseph also thought it was the ancestor of the pear, but wondered why it looked like this.

Then a long time washing everything.

The virtual earth has passed such a terrible time of 200 million years.

Even though Joseph accelerated, he also accumulated thousands of years.

Perhaps there was a time when he would still be surprised by the birth of life and the discovery of new species to admire, but gradually he has become numb and indifferent.

Even the weathering of the stone statues on Mount Olympus can no longer touch Joseph.

I do not know which day I came from the jungle to go back to Olympus to look at the time, only to find a human-shaped stone statue, indistinguishable from the model.

It took a lot of brainstorming to remember that it was the wife of more than a thousand years ago, as well as the Beginner of more than 100 million years ago.

That was the first time Joseph woke up. Lucia's face was no longer deep in his mind, the twenty-six years of the past on Earth, as if it was just a movie.

At that time, all the touching, joy, pain, sorrow... he had brought him had dissipated.

Love you for 10,000 years. Such words are too ridiculous. Joseph, some self-deprecation.

In another few thousand years, Joseph is afraid that even he will forget who he is.

Even if the most passionate people, in the vastness of time and space, in the infinite changes of light and shadow, in the never-ending wheel of history, become numb.

.......

Joseph suddenly heard a raptor roar from his captive.

As the God of this world, he can know anything that happens in this world, hear any sound, see any picture, and appear anywhere.

It was his watchdog, the Velociraptor, that had captured a parapod dinosaur and was cheering, as well as scrambling to tear into the carcass.

As the dinosaur closest to God, Joseph takes extra care of them.

In fact, their ancestors were all raptors that Joseph had carefully chosen to be quite intelligent.

In the hope that their offspring would be more intelligent, Joseph caught the raptors with more developed intelligence together.

Perhaps this will create a creature similar to the "dinosaur man", but how much time it will take is unknown.

But in any case, the raptors that Joseph kept in captivity must have been the strongest and most intelligent of their group.

Velociraptors are quite perceptive and stop scrambling alertly the moment Joseph appears, an awareness that is especially useful when they encounter other large carnivorous dinosaurs.

It is not until they realize it is Joseph that they let down their guard.

Their ancestors had engraved Joseph in their genes, and this creature, unlike them, was the most important thing in their existence.

Such a thing was taught by their mother and then passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, their original forefathers were also Joseph, and he wasted a lot of effort in training.

The raptors spit out large pieces of torn flesh at Joseph and then rubbed their heads against him, making "oooh" noises under their breath.

Even the most intelligent raptors gathered together have not developed a language for hundreds of thousands of years, and they can only express different emotions by making different sounds.

But such a development actually came to its present form more than 200,000 years ago, which means that the raptor language system has been stagnant for more than 200,000 years.

Then, Joseph waved his hand. A flame then shot up to the sky, just in time to roast meat to eat. The meat of the parapod dragon is quite strong, considered a good material for roasting.

Just when Joseph was ready to feast, the voice of the guide suddenly appeared in his mind.

This was the first time in more than 200 million years that the guide had taken the initiative to contact him, which caught Joseph off guard, and with a thought, he was instantly back in Olympus again.

The Velociraptors found that the "god" of their species had suddenly disappeared again, and did not show much surprise, and began to fight for food again, and then returned to the gathering place Joseph had designated for them.

The raptors have been living there for generations, and no other dinosaur has dared to compete.

.......

"..... Sample 3427743, you are a little beyond my imagination." The guide is still a mechanical cold voice; it has not communicated with Joseph since it exited the guide mode.

The guide was a program without self-awareness. It could execute all of Joseph's commands and even secretly help Joseph's creation, but it could never actively communicate with Joseph.

Joseph was silent for a long time before he finally said, "I have spent about two thousand years here."

It had been so long since he had spoken English that he seemed to be forgetting even the language.

"It's been a pretty long time, and it looks like you've lost something."

"I've lost so much that I'm not sure I'm still me now," Joseph sighed, looking at the flickering mass of light in front of him. "Is Earth, now, capable of surviving the first fusion?"

"It's not for me to assess, but I can tell you something about sample 3427744."

"He came from the planet Linlan, three thousand light years away from Earth, with a more mature intelligence than yours. Their planet did not develop technology. I remember that their star is ten times larger than your sun, and seems to have embarked on a program to use the star to strengthen itself."

"As for how far his virtual space has developed, it is not known, and I do not govern sample 3427744."

....

Preserving Earth's civilization is perhaps Joseph's strongest obsession nowadays. After all, it's something he's held on to for over 200 million years.

"The Earth is now performing beyond your vision?"

"Yes," To be honest, 300 million years is a rather short time for life. " There was a flash of light, "You know what? "The percentage of samples that did not develop life at the end of 300 million years is 27%, which is the percentage that has not been able to develop life since the beginning."

"About 19% were able to develop life with the second guidance of the guide."

"Second guidance?" Joseph had some clarity. He finally knew why the guide would appear again.

"As you have already guessed, each sample will be able to receive a second guidance during the 300 million years, and the exact time is decided by the guide."

"Determined by the guide?"

"If it is some sample with low intelligence, due to the rules of the experiment, the guide can also appear on the last day of the three hundred million years, although it will also appear."
